Provided by Katrina Berry

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 ½ cups half-and-half cream

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams whenever possible. Fresh clams will give your bisque the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams will work in a pinch.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use will greatly affect the flavor of your bisque. Choose a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. The vegetables in this recipe can be easily swapped out for others that you prefer. For example, you could use leeks instead of onions, or carrots instead of celery.
  • Serve your bisque with a garnish of fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to your bisque. Some good options include parsley, chives, or dill.

Conclusion:

Creamy clam bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover clams. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy clam bisque that is sure to impress your friends and family.
